Ardon Bar-Hama, a noted photographer of antiquities, used ultraviolet-protected flash tubes to light the scrolls for 1/4000th of a second. The exposure time - which is much shorter than a conventional camera flash - was designed to protect the scrolls from damage.

Since its being publicized by a Jewish museum, I'm not surprised that they don't mention the LXX in their notes on the variant versions of Isaiah. If one is aware of the bias present, the site is a great treasure.
